  • Patent number: 10183571
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a transmission for a hybrid vehicle, including a main clutch and a sub-clutch which are disposed on a first input shaft and a second input shaft to selectively transfer power from an engine to an output shaft. First and second pairs of engine-side gears having different gear ratios are meshed with the sub-clutch and the output shaft and with the second input shaft and the output shaft, such that a pair of gears is selected. A third input shaft rotates using power received from a motor. A plurality of pairs of motor-side gears having different gear ratios are meshed with the third input shaft and the output shaft, such that a pair of gears appropriate to the speed of the vehicle is selected by a motor-side engaging/disengaging unit. A one-way clutch allows power to be only transferred from the third input shaft to the output shaft.
